The Mandolin Pocket Shirt is cut with seams along the front body and sleeve, and the
back body and sleeve, with a single very long narrow strip that runs from the cuff, up the sleeve, down the side of the body, zigzagging back on itself to form a side hand pocket.
This panel piece makes good use of the narrow rolls of fabric, and creates a minimalist
pocket, reminiscent of the traditional mandolin vegetable slicing tool. The seam ends at the cuffs and hem are split open, so the shirt has a double cuff, with two buttons and two sets of pleats on each hand, and four side splits.

Shirts are sewn with ecru 100% cotton thread and fastened with black melamine Savile
Row tailor's fly buttons.

This plain weave mid-weight canvas is woven on an ecru cotton warp, with alternating weft stripes of the same ecru yarn and a corresponding yarn that has been bleached white. This creates a delicate horizontal tonal stripe visible on the rinsed cloth as a colour difference, and in dyed garments as a subtle tonal and textural variation.
